March 7, 1944

It’s Tuesday in 1944, and today we have:

— “Movie Primer,” a pretty funny satirical look at Hollywood going through the ABCs (B is for boy as in boy meets girl; C is for movie columnist; D is for dialogue, etc.), is the show in “Columbia Workshop.” With a segment titled “A Picture You Can’t Afford to Miss.” From Otrrlibary.org via Archive.org.

— Col. Lemuel Q. Stoopnagle (Frederick Chase Taylor) is the guest on “Duffy’s Tavern.” Calculating the federal income tax is a challenge. Courtesy of Archive.org.

— “Fibber McGee and Molly.” Courtesy of Archive.org.

    Nowadays, Fibber McGee would be featured on Hoarders. “T’ain’t funny, McGee–you need an intervention!”
